BUGARACH, FRANCE - DECEMBER 20: Backpackers arrive in Bugarath, the small village in the foothills of the Pyrenees on December 20, 2012 in Bugarach, France. Miviludes, the French Government's dedicated sect watchdog, are investigating the likelihood of apocalyptic sect activity or ritualised suicides due to the prophecy of an ancient Mayan calendar which also claims that Burgarach is the only place on Earth which will be saved from the apocalypse on the evening of December 21, 2012.
